Aidan Hutchinson and David Ojabo stole the spotlight for the Michigan Wolverines defense in 2021, but they weren’t the only major contributors on the defensive line.
Defensive tackle Chris Hinton showed significant improvement in his junior season in Ann Arbor following two years of underwhelming play. He was one of two five-star recruits Jim Harbaugh brought into Michigan in the 2019 recruiting class. His size, power and legacy name helped him become one of the top prospects in the nation.
With that kind of resume, any recruit is going to see playing time early, and just that happened for Hinton.
